Well I found a dream car
and have a few questions:
It's a 2001 M coupe with only 8,000 orig. miles
by the orig. owner.
The only thing that has been done to the car is oil changes and a new battery. It still boasts the original tires and is alway stored indoors.
I've only ever owned Porsches as my 3rd toy car and this will be my first BMW. (I've never even driven one of these things although I've driven a Z3). Anyway on Porshes it is worth every penny, every time to do a PPI. I don't see much PPI talk on this forum, so I'm not sure what protocal is.
The car is 10 hours away. Is it worth the money to do a PPI on such a low mile car?
What would you look for (other than cosmetics)? I doubt tranny and subrame issues will be a problem at this mileage. The owner (whos one of those picky Porsche guys) says the tires are not hard and not flat spotted.
Please give me your input.
Thanks.

I'm about to buy an M Coupe
In general, prices on S54 coupes seem to be between $30K to $36K depending on model year and mileage. The one you are looking at with only 8K miles will probably be more to the higher end of that range I would think, but probably not fetch as much as a 2002 with the same miles. I've heard of a few outlier deals (someone finding an 01 Coupe for less than $30K or someone buying a museum piece 2002 coupe with ultra low miles for $38K) but the sweet spot of the range of asking prices currently seems to be $32K - $34K.
